I'm back

I think the title says it all. After blowing almost all of my cash on chocolates, McDonald's and Burger King in the space of five days, I'm back!

Axe-Amms

In a week, I would have finished my first semester on this desolated island. And to think that I have another 5 semesters to go... ahh whatever mate. It's like Shawn Michaels once said, "it's Hell getting Heaven". So here's a bit of an update of what's going on after such a long time :

1. Cristiano Ronaldo is injured - think you all know that.
2. I took off my foot support, but my foot isn't 100% yet.
3. There's still no water on campus
4. Two of my friends are so hopelessly close but are so hopeless at taking it to the next level.
5. I've ran out of food.
6. I'm considering setting up a Help service on campus to those with relationship issues.

My exams are on right now. I can't go back early because I have a drama presentation for Islamic and Asian Civ. These dungus were too lazy to take a quiz worth 10% so they wanted to do that instead. Whassamatter? "fraid I would all yer asses like in the Mid-term? Bragging over, Back to work.

Thought from out of the Blue

I'm finally reactivating this blog of mine. My sprained foot turned out to be fractured, so I'm out for a couple of weeks. Now, that I finally have the time to type stuff.

Please read this with an open mind, by the way.


You've heard of the Evangelists haven't you? Your bound to bump into one of them sometime in your life. No? Well their Christians that go around dancing and singing and chanting in the open, getting you to join their church and preach about why you should join them.

Basically their a bunch of aggressive recruiters. I'm sure there are people like this in every religion but I'm going to talk about it from my point of view.

Evangelists work in many ways. I've been approached by a few back home in Penang. The first rule of talking to one of them is to NEVER give yourself away. Those guys will never leave you alone if you let them in on your name and phone number.

Many of you know how they operate? They get you to join their church activities then eventually assimilate you into their denomination.

The way they do it irritates me.

When I was in Sabah, a group of Sabahans began approaching students one by one, speaking in Irish accents "Are you Christian brother?, Are you Buddhist brother?..." And then they began to give their own interpretation of the book Revelations and how their church has been in existence for so long and how they affect the community, yadda yadda. Classic Evangelistic script.


I must admit I wonder why didn't they have a go at me? I love it when they pointlessly try to persuade me to consider their offer.

Well it's much better than those self-rightous Christians who come to you and say "Join us and you will be saved"(The polite version of 'join us or go to hell'). Nobody can tell you if your saved or not. It's only up to the Big Man up there not you, not your Pastor, not the Pope, but GOD himself. Just be faithful, say your prayers and practice what is preached and wait till Judgement Day.


Christians worship the same God, we follow Jesus and we believe in the Holy Spirit. So why would you want to ask me to join your church when I'm happy as faithful as you guys are in the Catholic Church?


My Question - Why can't the Evangelists go after the atheists and leave us in peace?

Sprained Foot

I'm finally back. I never realised there's so much one can read about programming. Which is why I hate to read it up. Instead I just copy the programs and try to be creative...

I was playin futsal yesterday. I charged after this guy with the ball, hit him and I fell on my right foot. I couldn walk. I'm much better today. I'm not typing much because IE isn't working properly. I'm switching to GC.

Night At The Tower

Some seniors were having this "Movie Fiesta" for their 2nd/3rd year project. I didn't want to go because I've seen most of the movies that they were going to screen.

A few of our friends had to spend the night at the Tower because the last bus to their hostel was at 11. Guess I'm lucky to be within walking distance of the school, although their hostel does have water.

Their last movie ended at 2.30 and so the rest of us decided to spend the night/morning at the Tower to keep them company. Fancy three girls all alone in the lonely building with no-one until 8 in the morning. The place isn't haunted but still it can be pretty uncomfortable.

I'm no stranger to staying up all night long. It's 4.22 and I'm still fresh. Five fellas are fast asleep, and there are three others infront of me on their laptop.

I don't think I should take pictures of them and post them here. ~sigh~ why am I so good to them.

Sid out.

Home and Back again

After spending 1 heavenly week back in Penang, I'm once again wasting my time in Labuan. I've been doing a bit of studying here and there but it's at a really slow rate(try one or two pages per day). Least it's better than spending hours on the phone trying to negogiate a way off this rock. I'll pick up the pace soon enough. I want to get on the Dean's List, I hope I do.

One of the disadvantages of being a Penangite is that you will never enjoy better food anywhere else in the world. Seriously, for some strange reason I get refuted when I say I'll love the food in Australia every time I mention "Let me go to Australia! I won't miss Penang food."

After spending my first six weeks here I couldn't be bothered if fish and chips, pies and vegemite sandwiches will NEVER EVER be part of my diet. Let's face it, a return to OZ seems like it's never going to happen. So I've given up on trying to find a way back.

Anyway, if you can't live without Mamak food, Chinese food, Indian food this is the perfect place to go on a hunger strike. Nothing beats Penang food, NOTHING! Go to Mid-Valley in PJ and order a plate of Wan-tan mee and you will not enjoy it as much as you'll enjoy it back home. No offence to whosoever is the cook over there but it's the truth. Think I spent my first night in Sabah promoting Penang food. I spent my final afternoon in Sabah talking about Penang food with another Penangite(much to everyone's annoyance).

On the other hand, the beaches back home, with the exception of Monkey Beach, are filthier. But I hardly go to the beach here... seen it, been there, done that. A lot of people seem to love going to the beach often. By the way, riding the waves in a canoe is fun.

Just for the sake of bragging, my English lecturer thinks my essay map is brilliant but I think I got lucky. Can't blame me for gloating, I feel a little vindicated...

Speak now or forever hold your peas...

Barney loves kids...

In death MJ found peace from all those parents who had eyes that looked like dollar signs, claiming that Jacko molested their kids.

But I don't think he is a sicko.

Yeah he loved kids a lot but I doubt he would go into paedo-mode. He was married twice to start with. And if he was sick he would have done that years before, not when he was at his peak.

I was reading a post by Ian on FB- Barney is a paedophile... it got me thinking. If you still believe the Immortal King of Pop likes kiddies, I think you are all wrong!!

I'm going to leave Jacko alone and have a go at Barney, he/it was annoyed me when I was a kid. Here are three reasons to why I think Barney is not going after adult dinos.

It's only for laughs by the way, don't take it the wrong way will ya? I know it's only a kids show and it's not real...

1. At school when everyone is there, he is only a little doll. Once all the adults leave and only the kids are left, he just so happens to magically enlarge and laughs gleefully and is so exicited his prehistoric heart might burst. His a stalker.

2. He ends the show by professing his love for the kids and hugs them like their lovers.

3. He touches them a lot.

Now, I ain no sicko but let us face it. We'll be in jail if any of us did that.

It's a pretty short post. I've been busy so I've not much time to update the blog.

Cya
